The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 10

[bethbuchall]

Beth - I'd be more worried about you guys making the flight than your luggage! I'd still check and see if there are other flights that might have a 50 minute connection instead of only half hour. Luggage doesn't matter since you'll be bringing stuff for your first day anyways in your carry on (or at least you should!) Or at least see when the next flight from Charlotte leaves in case you miss the connecting flight so you'll know how much time you'll be waiting if you do miss the flight. Officially, anything with a 1/2 hour is considered a legal connection (try that in LGA!) and airlines are allowed to sell them. If I know I have a short connection, I make sure I'm in the front of the plane somehow. (With my Airtran flight we are in row 11, which is right behind the bulkhead...I think we'll make the 33 minute connection...I'll worry about my luggage later.)

Thanks, Chanon! I would never, never, never book a flight with such a short connection. I will take a look at flights a little later and see what I can do. I've been looking at maps of the Charlotte airport on-line, but I can't really get a feel for the size. Anyone know what CLT is like for making a USAir connection? As for seating, it doesn't show our seat numbers any more probably because of the change in planes/flights. I am hoping that we have at least two together so that Miles doesn't have to be on his own. Could I get any of that information by calling the airline? I was so happy to have made non-stop flights, but the best laid plans...

Nope still don't get the fascination!!

For me it's not the looks (I don't get that either) but I love Johnny Depp's acting in anything he does. Somehow, he makes the characters believable to me.

Hey Marti!!! Hope you had a good week-end. So nice to see you!!

Oh I forgot, My baby finally slept in her big girl bed last night! We had tried it a few months ago and it was horrible. So we went back to the crib. But while on vacation starting the climbing out again. Eric set the bed up yesterday and she napped in it and went to bed in it. She was actually very excited about it!

Woohoo!!!! Time to party! They do grow up so fast though.

Barking dog again, Elin? Or are you still in beach mode?

Not sure what woke me this a.m. But I bet I will pay for it later on today!

I read that one on our camping trip, and loved it! It is very fast paced and well written! I hope you enjoy it.

For those that want book recommendations, I promise they are coming. I'm just trying to catch up first. They'll be up tonight!

RE: Jodi Picoult, Vanishing Acts.

I think it may take me a bit longer to read it than most. I read the first chapter last night and was amazed that she was talking about specific areas around me. I've fished off the Orford/Fairlee Bridge, Chris and I have had a date in the Baker Library Bell Tower (18 years ago ) The NH State Trooper that she worked with and acknowlegdes in the book was a friend of mine that I graduated high school with (James Steinmetz). The town that she lives in is Hanover, NH (she changed the name for the book) Dartmouth College is in Hanover and I used to work there. Everytime a new place is mentioned I can actually see the real place rather than creating one in my mind. It is very strange.

YUMMY!!!!

Funny Theresa you are posting right up my ally! LOVE IT!!!​

You all know that Ben and Jerry's makes their ice cream in Vermont!!! You should come and visit the factories some time. The factory in Waterbury offers tours daily. I've been several times as I have lots of family that lives within spitting distance of there. I've also been to the one in burlington, but they only make on flavor at a time there. Chris worked for a local B&J ice cream shop when he was in high school. You have no idea how much ice cream I consumed then. You can of course imagine how much he ate with the screen name Kitchensinkguy. He has definately earned that name

I hope that you did well on your test.

Here is your recap. Now before you think I remember all of this, I actually just skimmed through the last 35 pages for you. I hope this helps you out.


Vicki went to a graduation party and had to cross the Mackinac bridge, she took pictures of PM on and around it and the discussion sent Kate into a panic. As she hates bridges

Vicki also bought not only one Jeep but 2 for Pal Mickey and Minnie the one is for her niece.

June ordered her credit card with her Goofy pic

Still no pictures of baby Matthew, although Amy and Matthew are at home, apparently Kate's kids forget to tell her that Amy called last night.


Kristine got the milestone post of 44,000

More PM pictures.

Beth -

I believe if the airline switches your flight - you can call them and tell them you are not comfortable with the new itinerary and they HAVE to switch you to the flights of your choice -

I would decide if there are other flights you would rather take and then call them and request it - telling them that you are not comfortable with such a short connection time -

I should also be working and not checking this site! I have so much to do before we leave on Saturday for camp. I'm going to shut down my laptop so that I'm not tempted to keep checking. Talk to you all later tonight!
